I new to the forum and just built up my new bike for the spring. I picked up a 2012 Supersix Evo on sale at my local shop and did some upgrading. I added a new Hollowgram SISL2 crankset and some Negative GSL brakes. Here is a build list. I unfortunately don't have weights yet and haven't figured out where I want my fork cut to. I'm also waiting on the new Cannondale SI headset plug. My backup bike is a 2007 Caad 9.

I made the exact same upgrade last year. Went from a CAAD9 to a SuperSix Evo, in the exact same colour and size you have!

If I may comment; the difference between the two is night and day; I had my CAAD9 for 2 years and have had my Evo since August 2012, so have ridden both extensively.

The CAAD9 feels more harsh to ride (it is not a harsh ride, per se, but in comparison to the Evo). It is also a lot heavier to ride. Everything just feels better on the Evo, and the SAVE stays really make a difference. I have reports from my CAAD10 mates, who upgraded from CAAD9s that this is also the case on their machines.

I recently (ie, a few weeks ago) also got the SiSL2 crankset with Spiderring, which I upgraded to from Dura Ace 7900 and again, that makes a difference. Not sure if it is a result of having everything that is designed to work together sitting as a system, or if they really are stiffer than DA7900, but they really add to the system.

So yeah, to the OP, I bet like me, you are absolutely loving this new setup.

This is my first Carbon Cannondale and I haven't been able to ride it since I got it built up this weekend. It has been snowing pretty heavily in Utah lately. I love the Caad though. I like it so much I just picked up a 2010 Caad 9 on ebay with BB30 so I will be moving the parts from this one over and installing some Hollowgram SL's on it.

I picked up the SISL2's from Contender bikes in Salt Lake City. One of the employees there got a new Evo and for whatever reason he decided to sell them. I picked them up with spindle and the removal and spider tools for 700 bucks. I couldn't pass it up. It did come with FSA chainrings though. I sold them and picked up the Praxis rings because I think the Spiderings are fugly.
